Two thousand miles is not a long distance for practitioners at the Martial Honor Realm. Yang Qi and Feng Yan quickly returned to the vicinity of the ancient city of Nanyan.
“It seems that the inspection is not very strict?” Yang Qi raised his eyebrows. There were still many practitioners coming and going on the official road. Most of the practitioners did not have flying skills and could only enter and exit through the city gates.
"Um."
Feng Yan nodded slightly. The patrol in Nanyan Ancient City was not as strict as they thought. It was almost the same as when they entered Nanyan Ancient City before.
What Yang Qi and the others didn't know was that now that all the high-ranking members of the City Guards were missing and they were in a standoff with the Feng family, how could they care about other practitioners? Besides, how could ordinary practitioners dare to provoke the City Guards? The City Guards were not only powerful, but also represented the Great Zhou royal family.
Even a first-rate force like the Feng Family, which has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, only confronted the City Guards and did not dare to take the initiative. You must know that all the high-ranking members of the City Guards are now missing. If the Feng Family takes action, the City Guards will not be their match.
Moreover, the ancient city of Nanyan is the heartland of the Great Zhou Empire, so there is no need to worry about invasion by foreign enemies. The role and significance of the city guards are far less significant than those on the border.
The station of the city guards was outside the ancient city of Nanyan. It was no secret. Yang Qi and his companions quickly found the station. The entire station was dozens of miles long and had thousands of city guards stationed there. Each of these city guards was a cultivator above the martial arts master level. With thousands of city guards, even a martial arts master could be easily killed.
Yang Qi's eyes fixed on the city guard camp in the distance, muttering to himself, "As expected of the city guards, the camp is actually arranged according to the Seven Stars formation. The Seven Stars are for killing. Just approaching the camp, I can feel a strong murderous aura!"
"I didn't expect you to have such insights into formations." Feng Yan, who was standing aside, heard this and looked at Yang Qi with a little surprise.
“There are records about formations in my inherited memories, plus my master is also proficient in formations, so I have some understanding of formations.” Yang Qi smiled indifferently.
Feng Yan nodded slightly and did not ask too many questions. Like Yang Qi, she also had her own secrets and was a cultivator from other cultivation worlds.
"The defenses here are much tighter than those of the Feng family." Feng Yan looked in the direction of the city guard’s base, her face darkening.
"The city guards are probably on guard against the Feng family."
Yang Qi gave a bitter smile. Now that the city guards were confronting the Feng family, it was normal for the camp's defense level to be increased. For a fixed station like this, it was already good that the defense formation was not activated. If the city guards activated the defense formation, they would have no chance of sneaking in.
"In this case, it will be troublesome to sneak in." Feng Yan said helplessly.
The City Guards are not Feng family practitioners. Perhaps their individual strength is not as good as that of the Feng family, but the City Guards’ group combat capability is far superior to that of ordinary practitioners.
"If that guy were here, he could probably sneak in easily." Yang Qi muttered to himself, and a figure flashed through his mind. It was Chen Ruoshang who had the ability to sneak underground. This ability was undoubtedly most suitable for gathering intelligence, assassination, and the like.
"Who?" Feng Yan asked.
"A guy who can sneak underground." Yang Qi said lightly.
Feng Yan nodded slightly. If they could sneak underground, they could easily enter the city guards' base, but she and Yang Qi obviously did not have this ability. Although they could rely on their own strong strength to dig a path underground, it would definitely make a lot of noise and waste too much time.
"It's impossible for them to be on such tight guard all the time. There must be a gap. Let's look for it first." Feng Yan said in a deep voice.
The entire city guard garrison covers an area of dozens of miles. It is impossible to defend such a large area tightly. How much manpower would be needed? You have to know that the city guards in the entire garrison have only a few thousand people.
Just as Feng Yan expected, the city guards' defenses were not airtight. They quickly sneaked into the base and changed their appearance.
"Act according to the plan." Feng Yan glanced at Yang Qi beside her and said in a deep voice.
Yang Qi nodded slightly, and then the two separated. Feng Yan went directly to the nearest camp, while Yang Qi went in another direction.
Boom!
A moment later, a horrible loud noise was heard in the camp, followed by roars.
"The Feng family, it's the Feng family cultivator!"
"The Feng family invaded."
Feng Yan herself is also a practitioner of the Phoenix bloodline, so it is very easy for her to disguise herself as a practitioner of the Feng family. As soon as she makes a move, she is immediately recognized by the city guards. The person who infiltrated the city guards is actually a practitioner of the Feng family.
"What's going on?"
In the camp at the center of the garrison, several armored soldiers of the Feng family were discussing how to deal with the huge noise coming from the outskirts of the garrison and hurriedly rushed out of the camp.
"General, practitioners from the Feng family suddenly sneaked into the camp and attacked our people." A high-level martial arts master who was responsible for delivering the message quickly came to the armored soldier and reported.
"Feng family, damn Feng family!"
The leading armored soldier's face changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Comrades, follow me to the camp. My city guards represent the Great Zhou. Anyone who dares to break into the camp will be killed without mercy!"
“Kill without mercy!”
There were bursts of shouts coming from all around. As the city guards, they had never been attacked before, and the ones who came to their door were actually the Feng family, who had always been at odds with them.
In the ancient city of Nanyan, they could not do anything to the Feng family. In the territory where their city guards were stationed, even if the Feng family's martial master came, he had to behead him there, otherwise how could their city guards keep their dignity.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Figures divided into pairs and rushed in an orderly manner towards the camp where the loud noise came from.
A slightly thin man looked at the armored soldier beside him and whispered, "Brother, the Feng family shouldn't be so unwise, right? They are confronting us now, but they secretly sent people to attack our camp."
"It can only be the Feng family. It must be the Feng family. Don't forget what Senior Brother Gu told us." The armored soldier said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the people on the side fell silent. They were exiled to the ancient city of Nanyan, and they were the kind of practitioners who had no talent and no background in the Wuzhou Academy. Now that Gu Xingnan had thrown them an olive branch, they naturally seized this opportunity without hesitation, which led to the confrontation between the Feng family and the city guards.
"Besides, this time, it's not what we advertised." The leading armored soldier fixed his eyes and continued, "Even if the Feng family really attacks the camp, it is not impossible."
Everyone's eyes lit up. The previous confrontation with the Feng family was deliberately led by them, but this time it was not arranged by them. Maybe a cultivator from the Feng family really came to kill them.
"Brother, the enemy is quite strong. They escaped after one strike. I'm afraid we can't catch them!" At this moment, a low voice was heard.
"Yes, the enemy is too strong." The armored soldier's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said indifferently. (To be continued)
